About BIDEFORD... Bideford, characterised by its famous Long Bridge over the River Torridge in North Devon, is only a few miles from the dramatic Atlantic Coast. The bridge, dating from the Middle Ages, has 24 arches, and has been the focal point of the town since the Year Dot. Its quaintness today belies the fact that Bideford used to be one of the largest and busiest ports in England in Tudor times and was one of the first places to import tobacco after Raleigh discovered it. Bideford's market, still used by local farmers to sell their own produce, also has a fine Butchers' Row. The townscape includes merchants' houses dating from the 17th Century while those who love watching boats will have plenty to interest them.
